I installed a machine a few months ago, oct?, that had the same
permissions as the first machine you list above. I never did figure out
why that machine had strange permissions, but a number of other people
seem to have had the same issue around the same time. I've installed a
number of machine since and haven't run into it again.
In any case a chmod 755 / fixed it.
Did you use the Gentoo installer?
Best regards
